so the question, would you rather have a moon rock or a moon hasselblad?

I'd be rather happy to have a Hasselblad coming back from the moon ! OTOH, my son is quite happy to know that my 500C is the same model as the one which made it to space the first time !!

I wonder if the batteries have oozed by now? Would that classify them as Bgn on Keh? I'd take one for $ 165.00 but I bet the delivery cost would be out of this world.

How much is the postage on that? Might be worth getting a section with a Hasselblad on it!

I think we just found a way to fund the next moon mission: auction the 12 'blads upon their return to our green hills.

I said that once... "Go back get the camera's and sell them". I am guessing it would cost More than 12 Billion to collect all 12. I have little doubt they they would still work... that is if they had batteries.

BTW... I met and to some extent know Armstong and Cernan. I have no doubt that we went to the moon. I personally have heard Cernan address the doubter's his conviction is the same as a father defending his daughter's honor.

If we had "faked" going to the moon... would we have done so good of job?! That's my opinion.

Probably not. There was almost a Nikon digicompact thing up there after I tried it and realised that twenty years of "progress" had produced something only slightly smaller than my Pentax ME Super but without the image quality... :laugh:

The Hasselblads might well still work, it depends on how the moon dust has treated them. I know there's a credible theory that the "one small step for a man" was probably obliterated by the ascent stage of the LEM, which would have blown dust around for a considerable distance.

If you say it is going to the moon "naar de maan" it means where i live that you broke it...
